DOGE has closed down 50 vaccination clinics in Texas amid a measles outbreak.

Musk and the Trump admin directed federal agencies to pause the disbursement of $11.4 billion in community health loans and grants this week.

The timing couldn't be worse.

[Winter @MsWinterrrr]

Sara Jacob's has introduced a bill that would eliminate and get rid of DOGE for good.

Titled Delete DOGE Act.

Do you support her legislation?

To combat the high rate of death among slaves, plantation owners demanded females start having children at 13.

By 20, the enslaved women would be expected to have about five children.

[Maca Iglesias @rotterdamvvg]

No woman’s married name matches their birth certificate thus making them ineligible to vote.

The Save Act will suppress women’s votes.

Watch this female constituent drag McCormick (R-GA) at his town hall saying: “Why are you so scared for me to vote”?

New: Trump announced his Undersecretary of the Department of Education to be Nicholas Kent––the guy who heads the trade association for all predatory for-profit colleges which takes advantage of veterans, scams single mothers and defrauds folks seeking higher education.

A bill has been introduced in Congress that would let landlords evict tenants on only three days’ notice or less.

The legislation aims to roll back the 30-day notice landlords are currently required to give renters.

Alabama residents are receiving a $100 surcharge on their energy bills. They received letters informing them that their account "has been debited $100." Because one of Trump's executive orders froze a grant that assists low-income residents with their energy bills.

Beck: Augustine does not say you start with just your family and then work it out in these concentric circles that JD Vance is talking about. The Pope says, no, Mr. Vance, you who are a catholic only for six years. I'm a catholic for 88 years as being Pope, he's a convert to catholicism. That's not what Augustine meant. Augustine meant the paradigm of the Good Samaritan…

A country founded on Native American genocide and African slavery was never a good country.

An insider at the Mainland CDC confirmed human cases and fatalities but said the exact numbers remain unclear. /1

JUST IN: H5N1 bird flu now confirmed to spread between dairy cows through milk.

Infected milk was found weeks before symptoms, and raw milk killed cats.

If you’re still underestimating this, you’re not paying attention.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

They are planning to slash Medicaid - which covers costs of nursing home care for 1.4 million frail, elderly Americans - to finance a tax cut for billionaires.

This will be, I suspect, not super popular.
